Just saw "Sniff Petrol’s wonderfully interesting book of boring car facts: A review" in Ars Technica [0] and remembered how I enjoyed Nine Pints (a book about blood, [1]) and The Box (history of shipping containers, [2]).

I would love to hear about the best books you've read that cover some interesting topic!

Thanks!
